I love that this place has so many options and ways to get my protein in. This time I got the pumpkin spice latte, but I wasn't a huge fan. I feel there wasn't much flavor. I also ordered the southwest wrap which I really enjoyed. It was a great size and was very flavorful! read more

Great product and super nice counter service. Protien shakes are delicious, not too sweet and seem to be made with all natural ingredients. Space is clean and the kitchen is open concept. It is pricey - think Sweetgreen. Could I have a smoothie or Protien shake at home? Yes, probably, but this place is good for an afternoon snack or a healthy option for lunch once in a while. read more

This place is conveniently located by my son's high school and I've made it a daily routine to stop in every single morning for my protein shake. The staff is so friendly and the place is extremely clean! I love how they open super early and the food is always fresh. Thanks for making my mornings extra special! read more

Both drinks were very refreshing. The Fitmint (left) was creamy, smooth, and had a subtle minty taste. It had fresh mint, spinach, vanilla whey protein, almond milk, organic ghee, and malt powder. The Fauci (right) had mango, banana, strawberry, orange, lemon, ginger, honey, cayenne, and flu fighter boost. This smoothie was super tasty and I feel healthy It was pretty thicc and the cayenne pepper somehow worked really well with the other flavors #whoknew ‍ read more

I was in the area leaving from getting a facial next door. I decided to try out Protein Bar. Walking in it was very clean with a modern touch. I loved the pop of orange, made it seem vibrant. There is plenty of free parking so that's always a plus. Walker in I was greeted and placed my order. Service was quick and I didn't have to wait long for my order. I ordered a wrap...the Kale Caesar wrap and it was ok. I also ordered a smoothie and it was pretty tasty. There was plenty of seating, both booths and tables. I took my food to go but I wouldn't mind stopping in again if I'm in the area. read more

I had a vegan version of The Perk--it was fine. Not great though. I'm particular about my protein shakes. The texture was uneven. Because they added ice-/which I hate in shakes and smoothies--some parts would melt and it tasted like watery chocolate protein powder. The flavor was okay. It was definitely edible, but I wouldn't get it again. The protein content (according to the menu) was good. But I'm not sure if making it vegan changed that. This place is fine if you're kind of in a hurry to get some quick protein. It might have tasted better if I didn't make it vegan. I just like my protein shakes to be creamy, and this was more icey than creamy. read more

Having just landed in the Chicagoland area, we were looking for something remotely healthy to tithe us over until a business dinner. Kudos to this spot for being transparent and diverse with their ingredients. Our order came out custom, quick and fresh. Only major drawback (especially during lunch hours) is the huge price point for a salad or burrito. read more

Haven't been here in years. Good to know they are still in business. Healthy options, sizable portions. Clean, bright decor. Bathroom was clean and stocked with supplies. Friendly order taker/cashier. Free parking. Enough said. read more

The smoothie was great but I found a hair in my salmon bowl. Killed my appetite completely, and I was compensated fairly when I told the manager. However it was a terrible experience, especially since I had noticed the hair when it was in my mouth, my brother also found a bone in his barrito and although he didn't go up to the counter he said he didn't enjoy his meal knowing there was a hair in mine. Will not come back here. read more

I love protein bar in the loop and at NW hospital, but this one is just not as good. A few different tries and now I won't try again. My buffalo bowl had chicken pieces that were not good, service was fine and store was standard. Time to give up on this location and just head downtown when I want a quinoa buffalo bowl! read more

I ordered the Mexican bowl thing and the Pb and j protein shake. Both of them were ass. I paid 20 bucks for a bowl of shit that was claimed to be Mexican and a watered down artificial drink that tastes like a led infested water system in Northern Africa. This place is supposed to be healthy but I literally felt like dog after eating there. Overall I give this place no aura out of 10. read more

I have been ordering from this location for years...the last 2 times however have been awful. The carnitas bowl I ordered was missing ingredients and looks like it was prepared too quickly and wasn't right..I put that aside but today I ordered 2 chicken pesto bowls and both were missing the pesto and again looked like it was thrown together without care and the chicken was on recognizable..it was dry and tasted unlike the chicken pesto bowls I order at other locations..I cannot recommend this location.. read more

Inexpensive and healthy vegan-friendly fast food restaurant in Chicago! Food**** We each got salads--the southwest and the super food vegan. The former had a kick to it and is mixed with quinoa, black beans, corn, avocado, tomato, carrot and cilantro-lime dressing w/ tofu (you can also get it with pea falafel). If you're up for a bit of a kick this salad is definitely for you! The superfood vegan was equally good but with a creamy chia dressing and no kick! The superfood vegan cookies with tofu, carrot, chickpeas, avocado, pickled red onion, hemp seed blend, and organic quinoa. Wow--good and super healthy! Atmosphere and Parking** Lots of seating and parking outside the restaurant. The vibe inside was casual and chill--playing pop music and booths are available as well as tables and chairs. They could definitely go around and clean the tables more! Service**** Counter ordering service and they will bring the food to your table (as long as you have your number up)! Price $ Under $10 for each entree read more

None of the employees wear their masks properly, if at all. I looked around, recognized that this was the way it would be at this location, and I left. I'll go to a more caring location. read more

Consistency. The people are always nice and they look at you when they talk to you. The manager was very friendly and helpful. I bought the package for four meals a month $30. I'm happy-but I'm always happy when I eat a good meal! read more

Love this place. It's a great go-to location for a good protein shake. Everyone is very nice and the location is very clean.

If you like a little Covid with your food, then this is the perfect place! So disappointed that the employees all wore their masks under their noses and one even had it around his chin. And they're talking to each other as they're making all the food. So gross. I couldn't eat it. Yes, vaccinations are here and HOPEFULLY, they got them (but who knows for sure). Chicago, for the most part has all restaurant workers and customers wearing masks indoors and I honor this. Do better. Be better. Don't be selfish. Wear the mask while you're indoors making our food and smoothies and taking our orders. At least pretend like you care about your customers. read more

This has grown to be one of my favorite healthy eats! Quick service and you can pre order or Postmates it. I love the Mexicali bowl with quinoa, southwestern salad and I normally get the berries smoothie with CBD oil in it. A healthy "fast food" esque location! read more

I use to enjoy the food at protein bar. I was there the other day getting a buffalo wrap with chicken. After a couple bites I noticed the chicken was kind of fatty looking and a dark color. I kept pulling pieces out because it was disgusting. After maybe two more bites I threw the whole thing away because it was gross. I asked the manager if you are using dark meat which he did not understand what I meant. Then I explain to him about chicken breast and he said oh we just changed it last night. I asked him why didn't you say something when I ordered it. He's telling me that protein bar brought somebody in and told them that the dark meat was just the same as the chicken breast. I am on weight watchers and I want to tell you that's not the same. Dark meat is a fatty meat. The manager did not even ask me if I wanted some thing else. I basically told him I'll never come back after he didn't even offer me anything. I sent the corporate office a message through their website and I never heard back from them basically telling him the same thing and Ask them for a refund. I never heard back from them read more

I usually love this spot but picked it on grub hub due to wanting a smoothie. No smoothie ever came and although grub hub refunded me I waited an hour due to actually wanting that more than anything. I wouldn't have picked them had I known I wouldn't of gotten what I ordered. So sad now I won't want to order from them again. Wish they checked their orders better. Food is still good that I received. I'm a Rn so was sadly disappointed cause too tired to go out out but had to force myself. read more

The employees were very nice and had great communication. The food came out fast and was amazing, left me with a full stomach. Highly recommend this place to anyone who's in the Chicago area. read more

Fresh quality ingredients, bowls, bar-Rita's, salads, soups and wraps in a variety of styles. I like the "classic" buffalo - great buffalo chicken flavor without the breading of most other places. The chicken and veggies are diced and then tossed with the blue cheese and quinoa in the buffalo sauce. I'm not a smoothie person but my friends who are say they are delicious - and Chicago themed to boot. Many of the items can be made vegan. I've eaten at other locations and knew the menu - but had to drag my husband in here. "Why would I go to a Health Food store?" He enjoyed his Korean Bibi-q bowl - very flavorful. read more

I love this place. The club salad is my favorite. They now have cauliflower to substitute for quinoa which is perfect for watching carbs. Great kids menu including kids sized healthy smoothies. Service is fast. Prices is what they should be or high quality healthy food. read more

post-workout the bf and I decided to try this place. I had a bowl while he had a wrap. I was disappointed with the animal protein options but it's a great concept. Both were good but rather "dry" if you will. Next time I'll put a little greek yogurt in it. The smoothies are fantastic though :) read more

This is the first time I've ever been to protein bar but won't be my last. I went for an acai bowl but they weren't serving breakfast. I wasn't planning on getting anything then but Connie at the front desk told me how good the food was. I ended up getting a wrap for my friend and the best acai smoothie. I can't say enough good things about Connie. Her customer service was exceptional and you guys will be seeing me soon just because of how great she is. Thanks! read more

My experience at this eatery was fabulous. The place was spacious and very clean. I went on a Sunday and was quickly serviced by a friendly cashier named Oyuki. I ordered the Healthy Club Salad, which consisted of chicken, kale, turkey bacon, avocado, red onions, tomato, and Greek yogurt ranch dressing. It was plentiful, fresh, and delicious. My friend ordered the Millennium Perk and that was also delicious. I will definitely be back and I will take hubby with me. read more

I tend to avoid places like this, but I don't think I've ever seen an entire staff of employees who LOVED their jobs so much. They did everything but give me a hug on the way out.

Healthy place with fresh food. Great place for vegetarians. The bowls and salads are a good portion size. Lots of superfoods and protein choices. I ordered a turkey club wrap, it was good just the right size. It came out pretty quick-within 5 minutes. The interior of the restaurant is hip and cool. I like the bar at the window for solo eating options. Parking can be difficult mid day with the constant construction going on in the area. read more
